Harris confident recent Aussie performances have unsettled Windies – Cricket News Update
Australian pacer http://www.senore.com/Cricket/BW-Hilfenhaus-c1204 for his stellar performance on the fourth day of the ongoing Test match against the Windies on April 10 at the Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados, saying the potency of the Aussie pace attack
was bound to have their opponents worried.
“Bowling good pace, 140 (km/http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Hugh-Morris-c63550) plus outswingers. It's definitely going to be in the back of their minds,” Harris said.
“That's what Hilfy does - that's why he's playing Test cricket. He's such a good bowler. He can come out and bowl at good pace and he swung them with that breeze.”
Hilfenhaus enabled the Aussies to gain a huge psychological advantage over the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760 on the fourth day of the ongoing Test match. The Windies dominated the first three days of play, setting up an imposing 449, largely due to the performance of veteran
batsman http://www.senore.com/Cricket/S-Chanderpaul-c2390, who scored an unbeaten 103.
By the end of day 3, the Aussies were at 248 for 5 – 201 runs short of the target. Aided by a surprising burst courtesy the lower order, the tourists found themselves propelled to 406, owing to the performances of Ryan Harris (68), Ben Hilfenhaus (24), and
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MJ-Clarke-c1978 felt confident enough to take the risky decision of declaring the innings, despite the fact that his team still trailed by 43 runs.
Channeling the same fighting spirit, the Australian bowlers came out fighting during the Windies’ second innings. Hilfenhaus demolished the top order ruthlessly, taking out http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Kirk-Anton-Edwards-c71510 (1) before they had a
chance to settle in at the crease. While Harris did not manage a haul as spectacular, he did nip the threat of Chanderpaul (12) in the bud.
Day 4 enabled the tourists to turn the tables on their hosts. Whether they can maintain their new-found momentum remains to be seen, but Harris is fairly confident that his team poses a formidable threat to their opponents.
“If we can show we're bowling well in these conditions, no matter what conditions we get, and be able to go through their top, we've got a pretty good bowling attack so they would be worried,” added the pacer.
